Watch how I refuse to integrate. These suggestions are trash. This government is trash. My mom agrees. It's cold today so I'm wearing a sweater. I might bake some cookies later. Most importantly, you will never, ever get me to use 'whilst' in a sentence. Suppose I'll get deported now.

Finally found a cab and made it home after the mess at Cambridge station, three hours late. But I did find a really good pizza in that time.

No trains moving north from Cambridge station. Avoid!

Fellow Canadians, we can do this. I'll be waking up super early tomorrow to (hopefully) good news. #ElbowsUp

I'm going to run for office on a platform of banning these giant wall clocks in the UK. Things are terrible, but that's no excuse for ugliness.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Britain wakes up every day, aims the gun at its feet and pulls the trigger. Just a prolonged exercise in meanspiritedness and self-harm.

Have just cancelled my Labour membership over Starmer's anti-trans comments yesterday. Good riddance.

Monstrous. Starmer and the rest of his government can get in the bin.

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

Are we alone? Maybe not, but we're not claiming we've found aliens just yet. I've been working on this story flat-out for the past month and I'm so excited it's finally live! www.cam.ac.uk/stories/stro...

The law determines what is legal. It does not determine what is true; what is just; what is morally and ethically sound and defensible. The history of law is the history of the legal system being wrong on these grounds. Trans women are women.

Ugh. This country is so backwards. Love and solidarity to my trans sisters, today and every day.

Niche thing: I often write about very early-stage medical research, and people often get in touch wanting to be involved in clinical trials. I always point them to clinicaltrials.gov to search for trials, and this morning, I wondered how long that will still be a trustworthy resource.
